      your mail did not go to the list, but wording indicates, that is
      was intended for the list. In that case you can forward my answer

      Hi,
        

        

        I appreciate Regina's suggestion of a compromise but it still
        widens what is considered a conforming OpenDocument Document. I
        have no issue with widening the definition of a conforming
        OpenDocument Extended Document but I still think that
        interoperability with respect to conforming OpenDocument
        Document should not so completely depend on the goodwill of the
        implementers.
        

      
      

      I do not see, that it widens the current definition of
      "conforming".
      

      

      In my understanding the current conformance clause 2.2.1 D.3) does
      not say, that the namespace shall be
      "urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:of:1.2". But it says, _if_
      the used namespace is
      "urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:of:1.2", then syntax and
      semantic shall conform to Part 4.
      

    
    
I read this as that the conformance clause provides only two
      options.

    
Moreover, since the document cannot be interpreted reasonably
      without the consumer being able to understand these attribute
      values the third option cannot be acceptable.

    
As I mentioned in the meetings, using a differnet name-space is
      akin to using foreign elements. So it should at most be allowed in
      conforming Extended OpenDocument Documents.
